Mr Quantrill decided to get Black Sabbath’s first album cover tattooed on to his forearm<\/p>\n
On the banner, the 23-year-old from Northampton wrote “the legacy will be eternal.”<\/p>\n
“He’s a true pioneer and my hero,” said Mr Quantrill.<\/p>\n
As well as growing his hair just like Ozzy, Mr Quantrill said he had also got a tattoo of Black Sabbath’s first album on his forearm.<\/p>\n
“I hold the tattoo even closer to me now,” he said.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on Ozzy’s impact on the music industry, Mr Quantrill said: “The fact that four working class kids from Birmingham managed to pioneer a new genre of music, which has inspired the way we live our lives and the sub culture we partake, is amazing.<\/p>\n
“I saw them live for the End Tour in 2017 and it was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.”<\/p>\n
